..We postulate that PFM stimulation of RANTES production by ESC could lead to a self-propagating recruitment of inflammatory cells that contribute to the development and progression of endometriotic lesions...

..To determine the effect of thiazolidenedione derivatives (TZDs) on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production by human luteinized granulosa cells and the morphologic development of murine embryos...

Use of a flexible cannula to bypass an obstructing fibroid during a first-trimester surgical abortion. A case report

..Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) modulates inflammation and usually enhances clearance of apoptotic cells. We observed that the concentration and total amount of peritoneal fluid MBL does not differ in patients with and without endometriosis...

..A direct result of specific nerve fiber detection within eutopic endometrial layers points to the use of a minimally invasive endometrial biopsy technique in reducing delay in diagnosis and subsequent possible preservation of fertility...

..It is evident that surgical excision of endometriomas acutely impairs ovarian function as measured by ovarian reserve markers; whether this represents progressive or long term impairment remains the subject of ongoing investigation. ..

Intrauterine adhesions after manual vacuum aspiration for early pregnancy failure

..To investigate the presence of epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (ENA-78) in peritoneal fluid of women with and without endometriosis and to identify the cells that produce this inflammatory protein...

..The clinical effectiveness of chronic progestin treatment in endometriosis-associated pelvic pain may be attributed to its inhibition of RANTES production and its suppression of inflammatory responses in the pelvis...

..We postulate that interference with angiogenic principles expressed in the peritoneum may constitute novel therapeutic opportunities for the prevention, amelioration, or treatment of pelvic endometriosis...
